GT4 suspension specs?

[rushca01]

Does anyone know what the suspension specs are for the GT4?

Springs: a compressed disk
Shocks: break your back
Bushings: your chiropractor committed suicide

That's about as good as you're going to get unless you go up to Kohr Motorsports and ask them and I'm pretty willing to bet they're not about ready to give those numbers up for kicks.

Haha, that makes sense. Thanks! :cheers:

Depending on the track, camber is -3.5* to -4.0*. Caster is fixed. Toe is track dependent as well but nothing out of the norm.

What other "specs" are you looking for?

More so parts, trying to decide what parts to upgraded etc..looking at Steeda parts, cortex monoball parts, cradle bushings, sway bars, springs. I want everything to work in unison amd I don’t want to replace any gt350 parts that are good enough or replace them with a lateral move and waiste money.

I sensed it was parts as GT4 alignment specs don't mean much without the commensurate hardware.

I suppose the best way to narrow down a fairly wide array of parts choices is to define your goals or intended usage when done. Do you plan on tracking the car and if so, how often?

You can’t get them.
You can’t afford them.
You can’t use them all.

Dssv dampers $25000+
Multimatic camber plates.
Multimatic blade sway bars.
Multimatic rear lower control arms.
Cortex monoball control arm bearings.
Stock OEM rear vertical links.
Stock OEM vertical links.
Multimatic rear toe links.
Fully seam welded chassis.

Tob, I seem to remember you had some pics of that bad a** hardware. Maybe you could repost here.

Not suspension related but have to mention the $12k hood, $3400 splitter and who knows on the wing....not for sale that I have seen.

This'll get you much closer to GT4 performance without a bunch of mis-matched parts working against each other.....

Part #: M-FP500-FP350S

MSRP: $114,990



Although, if it's gotta be street legal, just go for an R.

And caster is fixed by series rules I believe, yes?

You can find the hood for less.
I have one on order. Should have it within a week.

Can you post the details or if you rather PM me? Thanks!

I do plan to track the car but I want to upgrade parts in a benneficial way. IE I plan to do nothing power wise as there is plenty there (for me). I most so focused on buttoning up any weak points in the oem configuration. NVH isn’t a big deal as this isn’t a daily driver. Of course I have a budget..


Right now I’m looking at GS1R wheels
19x11 with R hubs and 25mm spacer
Caliper Fexion brake studs
Cortex monoball front and rear
Cradle bushings??? (Bmr, steeda, ford)
Springs (either front R spec or FRP all around)
Rear sway (either the the R or steeda...)?
MGW shifter

That’s should hold me over for some time.

I want to stick with as much of the same brand families as possible (steeda, bmr, eibach, ford racing). I have read some deflection in the IRS is good to let things move a little.

I'm going to be spending a lot of time on the track with one this summer. I don't think I can keep up with him but it will be fun to try.

So you plan to track. Have you tracked the car in stock trim? What are the weal points you wish to address? How do you know what the weak points are? Are the weak points driver induced? Not trying to sound like an ass but so many people modify just to modify and most of the time make the ride worse, not better.
